    I completely agree with Joel, I loved the summary at the end and the reminder that the conversation doesn’t need to tangibly move from A to B to C to be beneficial.

    I am an INFJ and during this podcast, I had a realization about why I may be feeling miserable at my job. I work at a non-profit and even though its values align with my own, it is an incredibly Si-heavy organization. My Ni is so sad because most of my day is spent on administrative work and my simulation-running ideas fall on deaf ears, all the time. I have literally been told that there is no room for creativity because all processes have been thought of and identified!

    Anyway, that was the most important nugget for me because now I feel less guilty for wanting to find another job. For me to thrive and grow, I have to honour my Ni i.e. my personality best friend, as it’s been with me my whole life and knows me better than any other function (that’s my Fe there too, always anthropomorphizing :)).

    Hey, been following you all for a while. And first just want to say thank you for such an incredible model of a caring relationship. I love how you are both able to articulate right where you are at to and with each other even on the podcast. Second, Antonia, I love your wanderings and ruminations… Please keep them coming. Third, I really need this, will be listening to it again soon after I have time to let it percolate. I am pretty sure that while growing up my driver was pretty seriously inhibited. Still working through it all slowly but surely but think I was in a situation where my ten year and three year olds were much more accepted and developed. As I have been working through my traumas, attachments and type… The idea of letting my driver go, letting it stretch and take up room has been a bit of a scary conundrum. I am deeply grateful to you both, and can’t say just how timely this is for me. ?
